recommendations for ATA adapters for IP Office

[Z-man]

I have a local non-profit that wants to add a couple analog cordless phones to a branch office that is currently just running IP sets across a VPN from the main location.

Any recommendations? They key word here is "non-profit" so of course, they don't want to spend money... lol.

Grandstream are probably the most cost effective but you'll need a 3rd party IP endpoint licence which is about twice the cost of one for an Avaya IP phone.

cisco spa112 work fine with IP500

If there is no way to add a Phone2 card (cheapest solution) you could use MP11x by audiocodes

if you are going ATA route as ipohead mentioned, Grandstreams are cost effective and work nicely. You can get a Grandstream HT802 which has 2 FXS ports for $50-$55 range. But as mentioned you will need a 3rd party IP endpoint license for this since it will need to register as SIP. If you do have an open slot on the IPO then the Phone 2 might be most cost effective solution depending on environment.
